Testimonials

SBTC is the one organization I have been able to count on to represent the interests of my company on such important issues as reauthorization of the SBIR/STTR Programs, restoration of SBIR funding when agencies try to opt out, and small business patent protection. There are many battles yet to be fought and we need to join forces through SBTC to represent our interests.
